Abstract: A system has a mobile robot for autonomously performing activities and a statically fitted alarm installation for monitoring an area. Accordingly, the robot and the alarm installation communicate with one another via a communication link. The mobile self-propelled robot uses a map of the environment to navigate across a floor space through at least a portion of the area and to locate its position on the map. Triggering of an alarm by the alarm installation is prevented when the robot moves into the area to be monitored. The triggering of the alarm by the alarm installation is made possible again when the robot moves out of the area to be monitored.

Abstract: According to certain embodiments, paths are identified from path data. One or more sensors are assigned to each path. The following are performed: at least one sensor is moved to a path intersection and excess sensors are removed. An excess sensor is a sensor that is not required to satisfy the desired number of sensors of one or more paths. According to certain embodiments, a combined array comprising combined entries is accessed. Each combined entry represents a location and has a value indicating a number of paths at the location. The following are performed to yield a sensor arrangement: a maximum value of the combined array is identified, a sensor is assigned to a location associated with the maximum value, and the paths are removed from the combined array. A result associated with the sensor arrangement is reported.

Abstract: An intruder detection system is provided in which a detection range can be set to a predetermined one so that false detection caused by a moving object outside the predetermined range can be diminished. The system includes a transmission-side leaky transmission line that radiates a detection signal for detecting an intruder and a reception-side leaky transmission line that receives a detection signal leaked from the transmission-side leaky transmission line, both of which are buried spaced apart from each other in a detection surveillance area, and detects the presence/absence of an intruder in the detection surveillance area based on variations in the detection signal received by the reception-side leaky transmission line, wherein at least part of either the transmission-side leaky transmission line or the reception-side leaky transmission line is made of a surface-wave-type leaky coaxial transmission line, and the other leaky transmission line, a radiation-type leaky coaxial transmission line.

Abstract: A system and method for detecting an object on a cart, including a support structure, a cart detector and an object detector provided to the support structure and an alert device. The cart detector including a first sensor and a second sensor that are positioned to detect predetermined cart portions as a cart transitions from the first sensor to the second sensor. The object detector including a third sensor and a fourth sensor positioned to approximately simultaneously detect an object on the cart while not detecting upright elements of the cart. Preferably, the cart sensors and object sensors also measure distances to obstructions so that the distances can also be analyzed to determine that a cart and/or object is present.

Abstract: An object detection system is provided that projects one or more patterns onto a monitored area, captures one or more live images of the monitored area, and detects objects that enter the monitored area by detecting changes in the one or more patterns in the live images. Such an object detection system may be less susceptible to dynamic lighting conditions, and more sensitive to object intrusions. One illustrative example projects a pattern of dots onto an area to be monitored, and captures images corresponding to the monitored area, comparing live images to reference images to determine whether an object has intruded a defined area. The area to be monitored does not consist solely of the area captured in the images and may include a volume illuminated by the pattern as well as a volume corresponding to the captured image area. Objects not in the field of view may be detected by the disclosed systems and methods. Several illustrative analytical methods are disclosed as well.
